The game begins with a call from his estranged son, Adam, who sounds like he’s in considerable distress. You play as one such Observer, a man named Daniel Lazarski, portrayed with wonderful gruffness by the late Rutger Hauer.īut Daniel’s involvement in this story is not purely professional. Chief among those is the Dream Eater, a handy device that can hack into someone’s mind and perform a “neural interrogation” to gain crucial extra evidence to a case.
To cope with this challenging world, the KPD employs Observers, special investigators with flexible morals and several extra tools at their disposal. One major threat is the nanophage, a disease with both digital and biological qualities that has had some alarming effects on several cybernetically-enhanced residents in the area. The game is set in Krakow in the year 2084, where “a dark cyberpunk world shattered by plagues and wars” is dominated by mega-corporations and hugely divided by class.
#Observer system redux ps4 review series#
Observer: System Redux is an upgraded and slightly expanded version of the 2017 original that’s been built for the Xbox Series X/S and PlayStation 5. Despite all of this, it’s an experience I’d still recommend. Why do you play videogames? Perhaps it’s to relax, have fun, or escape from some of the harsher elements of reality? I ask because Observer: System Redux is not an easy game to play at all it’s not relaxing, not fun (in the conventional sense), and takes place in a world that makes this Earth in 2020 look like a paradise.
